PHYSICS - ... 11:00 - 13:00 Theoretical Neuroscience Journal Club Linking structure and activity in nonlinear spiking networks School COGNITIVE SCIENCES Venue: School of Cognitive Sciences, Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Opposite the ARAJ, Artesh Highway, Tehran, Iran ... 13:30 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar Probing the Primordial Universe using Massive Fields School ASTRONOMY In this talk, I will introduce the “primordial standard clock” as a tool for probing the very early stages of our universe, taking advantage of (potential) presence of massive fields by that era. I will discuss how massive fields may allow us to answer fundamental questions about early universe e.g. by probing the underlying theory of inflation or discriminating inflation from alternative scenarios. I will also discuss current bounds/hints for the resulting signal and point out interesting forthcoming observational prospects ... 14:00 - 16:00 Seminar Anticonvulsant effect of deep brain stimulation: the role of dopaminergic system School COGNITIVE SCIENCES Abstract: Venue: School of Cognitive Sciences, Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Opposite the ARAJ, Artesh Highway, Tehran, Iran on map * To join the mailing list: Send an empty email to: scs at ipm dot ir on the subject of: #join ... 15:30 - 17:00 Geometry and Topology Weekly Seminar Quantum Topology, Geometry and Dynamics School MATHEMATICS It is well-known that classical invariants of algebraic and differential topology, including smooth fundamental group, smooth singular homology, de Rham cohomology as well as Morse homology, are not sensitive to smooth structures of manifolds but modern physically-based (TQFT) invariants like Donaldson or Seiberg-Witten invariants are so. Thus it seems there should be a deep relation between quantum theory and manifold theory. In this talk, we investigate this relation. Our starting point is that as classical mechanics is not adequate to describe the structures of atoms and we need quantum mechanics to see atoms' structure, classical algebra ... |
